Blogging through Retirement with Mike Bellah, Ph.D.

The Moon over Santa Fe

Not that I didn’t visit my favorite New Mexico city pre-retirement. I just didn’t go as often, didn’t go on weekdays when crowds were smaller, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t spend as much time noticing full moons rising above the plaza Christmas lights.

Maybe because retirement has caused me to live more in the moment, enjoying present pleasures before hurrying on to the next one.
